Library News & Careers Corner

Library News

It has been a busy year in the College Library this year. The English KLA have been encouraging reading for pleasure in 2020 and book borrowing has rapidly increased. We have increased our fiction collection to meet the demand and have enjoyed the many conversations we have had this year about what they love to read.

Any overdue library books are welcomed back with open arms. No penalties apply.

New Books

The Library regularly purchases new titles. We have been pleased to have so many students borrowing recently thanks to a recent focus on reading for pleasure by our College English faculty. We love hearing what they think of the books they read.

E-Books

Supplementing the College library's hard copy book collection, students have access to over 2000 e-books (electronic books) through our online library catalogue.

It is as easy as going to the following link if you are logged in already:

https://library.arm.catholic.edu.au/oliver/home/browse/list

This can also be found on the College webpage in the 'student links' dropdown menu. The Catalogue is called 'Oliver'.

If they are not already logged into the CSO Portal, there will be a prompt to login to the CE-NET Authentication Portal (CSO Firewall). Students can either search 'e book' in the search box or, search a book directly.

Free access to World Book online!

Students can access World Book Encyclopedia online. The subscription has been covered, so it is free to access for students and staff of the College.

To access:

Via our school website www.oconnor.nsw.edu.au, go to Parent Student Information > Student Information > Oliver. Oliver is the Library catalogue. Once you get to Oliver, the final step is to click or 'Orbit' which is a button at the top right corner and then the link to 'World Book Online'. Happy researching!
